Behind the Scenes of Handmade Organic Skincare
Step into my workspace where I handcraft everything from scratch. See how I turn homegrown ingredients into the clean, organic skincare you love.
Here’s how I make my 'Green Terminator' soap. I start with fresh, homegrown lemongrass and green tea, hand-pour the mixture into molds, and let it cure. You can see and smell the love in every bar.
This was my first time trying cold process soap making! I'm always learning and experimenting to bring you the best. This video shows the process of making an activated charcoal and orange soap, from mixing the lye to pouring the trace.
Watch me make one of my bestsellers, 'The Margherita' soap. I use fresh tomato and honey to create this vibrant, skin-loving bar. The process involves mixing, pouring, unmolding, and finally cutting each bar by hand.
This is how I pack a custom gift box. Four different handmade soaps are carefully placed in an upcycled box with natural filler, ready to be sent to a loved one. You can DM me to create your own custom box.
Packing giveaway boxes for 'The Happiness Project'. Each box includes handwritten notes, product info cards, and my best-selling soaps, all packed with shredded paper filler and placed in upcycled newspaper bags.
Guess the soap! This is a throwback to me making a fresh batch of one of my fruit-based soaps. All my orders are now made fresh, ensuring you get the highest quality product.
The final step before my products are ready for you: labeling. Here I am, carefully labeling each bottle of my 'Scars to Your Beautiful' face oil. It's a process I do myself to ensure everything is perfect.
About this collection
Making skincare in small batches isn't just a process, it is my meditation. Whether I am pouring the Green Terminator soap or carefully labeling face oil bottles, I do it all by hand to ensure no chemicals ever touch your skin. When you order, you are not getting something mass-produced, you are getting a product that was made, poured, and packed by me, specifically for you.
How Your Skincare Comes to Life
I started my soap-making journey with a lot of trial and error. Cold process soap making is a science. The lye mixture reaches high temperatures and the trace happens faster than you might expect. It is a chemistry project I do in my own space. From mixing fresh tomato and honey for The Margherita to blending carrier oils for my face serum, every step is deliberate.
Why Ingredients Matter
About 80% of what goes into my products, I grow right here. Lemongrass, aloe vera, and other botanicals are harvested, processed, and blended by me. This means my inventory changes with the season, ensuring you get the freshest possible batches. I do not use factories or heavy machinery. If you are wondering why your soap looks slightly different from the last batch, that is exactly why—it is handmade, not mass-manufactured.
My Promise to You
My zero-plastic pledge is real. I use newspaper bags, water-activated paper tape, and shredded paper filler because I want your skincare ritual to be clean inside and out.
